Protective Styles: 2 Strand Twists

I put twists in my hair maybe a week ago, there out now but here's how you do them if you want to:
You Need:
Blow Drier
Cocoa Butter Or Shea Butter
Clips Or Rubber Bands
Some Sort Of Moisurizer
Comb
Moisturizer
Oil Sheen Or Hair Spray

1. Start with freshly washed hair, make sure its still wet.
2. Apply your moisturizer to wet hair, this will keep hair from drying out during the blow dry process.
3. section off hair into 2-4 sections and detangle thoroughly.
4. After all sections of hair have been detangled, take down one of the sections, secure the rest with a clip or hair tie.
5. Take a blowdrier with an attachment, vent brush, blower brush or the tension method, and blowdry, apply more moistuizer once your finished, do this to the rest of the sections.
6. Part hair how you are going to wear your twists. make 4 sections and start with one and clip the rest away.
7. Think about how big or small you want your twists to be, i like mine to be on the smaller side, take a small section of the big section clip the rest away, and do the twist.
8. once you get to the end of your twists, whether your transitioning or natural; take some cocoa butter and rub it onto the end, do to the rest of the section and the rest of your hair.
9. Once you finish with step 8, spray your twists with some sort of oil sheen or hair spray to set the style.
10. Before you go to bed, take the twists and wrap them into a bun, tie a scarf on, then a t shirt to make sure it is all the way secured.
and there you go beautiful succulent twists like you saw in the picture above (the twists there were 2 days old)  whether your transitioning or natural, your twists should last you from 1-2 weeks
